Setup:
1. Installation of the PX4, PX6 and PX8 Arca Compatible Lens Plates is quick and
easy! Your package includes (1) Lens Plate (2) 1/4-20 Screws and (3) Allen Keys. The
smallest key is for removing the safety stop screws explained below, the medium sized
wrench is for adjusting the anti rotation pins and the other 5/32 key is used to attach the
screw to the lens plate.
2. Gently cradle your lens with the lens foot facing upwards. Next locate the (2) tall
anti-rotation screws, this is the top of the plate that lays flat onto your lens foot. You may
select to put the anti-rotation pins toward the front or back of the lens foot depending on
the balancing point of your lens / camera combo. The flat top of the lens plate should
rest flat onto your lens foot of your lens and run parallel with your lens. The anti-rotation
pins push up against the lens foot and are adjustable for various balance points.
Now, insert the 1/4-20 screw(s) into the bottom of your lens. Using the supplied allen
key tighten until snug. Some lenses only require 1 screw and some use both screws. In
this case slide the plate into a position that will allow access to both screw holes. Using
2 screws creates 2 points of contact and will eliminate the need to use the anti-rotation
screws. They may be removed if desired. If 3/-8-16 screws are required for your lens
they are available to purchase at www.ProMediaGear.com.
3. The PX4, PX6 and PX8 (Updated October 2017) are equipped with our SS2 Quick
Release Strap Adapter System. This plunger based carrying system is designed around
a hardened stainless steel insert and allows you to carry your camera and lens with
ease and confidence.

While holding the camera and lens with a light touch loosen your Tilt Lock Knob so
the arm is free to swing and also slightly loosening your Arca Compatible Cradle
Clamp Knob. Now you will be able to slide your camera and lens plate forward or
backward in the clamp until the lens is perfectly horizontal and not drooping. Once
neutral balance is found remember to lock everything securely.
a. If the Lens is pointing DOWN, move camera/lens backwards.
b. If the Lens is pointing UP, move camera/lens forward.
